New Shortfilm in Progress: Being Good

Blender artist Julien Kaspar is part of an international group of high-profile artists who are workking on a feature film. Today they launched their Kickstarter campaign.

BEING GOOD is about identity and understanding the concepts of right and wrong. It’s not only a short film, but also a proof of concept for a full feature film. We are aiming for the highest quality to present the final film at several festivals next year and pitch the feature film idea.

Our team consists of over 50 passionate volunteers. We have students as well as industry veterans from studios such as Disney, Dreamworks, ILM, Sony, Illumination Macguff, Blizzard and Blue Sky.

Blender mostly came into use in the creation of the characters in sculpting, modeling & UV mapping. Later when we prepared the upload & setup of the sketchfab models, Blender was the main software to prepare and adjust the models, create the additional animations as well as lighting & baking the rendering setup in cycles (for the 3D-Print models).

We are working purely via the virtual online studio Artella – a new and exciting way of international collaboration. Artella enabled over 50 strangers from all over the world to get together and create something truly beautiful. We see ourselves as ambassadors of this new working method and want to inspire others to follow us down this magical rabbit hole.

We have just launched our project on Kickstarter! Have a look at our perks and if you decide to become part of our journey, your contribution will enable us to:

• Render the full short film on a render farm
• Apply to events and festivals
• Launch our marketing campaign which will be substantial for getting awareness for our film – this will give us better chances to make the feature film a reality
